schools and churches; all of the secret
societies have lodges here; her stores are
large and well stocked with goods; her
hotel-the American Exchanges of the
best class; the proprietor, l. n. Temple
ton, prince of landlords. Fred. Werner,
the butcher, is man of means who has
added many improvements to the town,
and is noted for his building propensities.
The foundry of Donnelly & Howard, a
cut of which appears in this ,issus,. is one
of the largest upon the coast, outside of
San Francisco, from which ten-ton castings
are turned out. They make speciality of
water wheels, and have better facilities
for doing mill work than any similar works
upon the coast. The work turned out by
this firm finds its way all over the coast,
and recently they filled large order for
Alaska. Knight & Co. also have an ex-
tensive foundry at this place
During the past summer an ice manu-
factory was started up, which has proven
very profitable investment. Some of the
best farms in the county are in the neigh
borhood of Sutter Greek, and parties desir-
ing excellent fruit and vine land can Sc
cure rare bargains in that locality. The
best grape lands lie directly in this min
eral belt, and for few miles on either side.
